This is a great lesson.

It is really interesting that such a simple topic can be made very humorous. Thanks to all of you.

I just started at the Elementary Level this week.

I love the way the two guys in this lesson have such "snappy" dialogue. I am sure these are the same two characters that do the lesson on fangbianmian.

By the way, I am anxiously awaiting the Hungry Traveler lesson on Sichuan Province.

Wo ai tudousi! I must admit that in the podcast the diner does not sound like he is on fire. He is so unemotional about his hot food.

A question. Can I download something off the internet that will allow my computer to "read" Chinese characters? Right now I get a plethora of little squares instead of hanzi.

My first entry. Ken, you are so right. This lesson is very much light Monty Python. It reminds me of the story of the cheese shop. John Cleese walks in to this store with every display case white and utterly barren, and proceeds to ask for some cheese. Fifty-four times. He got "meiyou" 54 times. Hilarious! The pen story by Jenny is funny. I get this image of the clerk eventually showing her the one and only pen in the store.
